Interception proxying requires you to act as if you were the web server, 
so you must reconstruct the full URL from the pieces found in the 
request and connection

In principle the data you have are:
  * Real destination IP address from the connection
  * URL-Path from the request method
  * Requested hostname from the Host header if there is one.
The odd thing is, the URL-Path seems different if I use REDIRECT and do 
not configure the client (I'm not getting 
http://server.tld/path/mysite.html, just /path/mysite.html) but this 
could be an issue specific to the python implementation of the request 
handler. I just wanted to know if there is some special "magic" involved 
in transparent proxying I have to take into account. I'll better ask 
this on comp.lang.python though.

thanks again
 Paul
